I am looking to see if anyone else is planning on going to the Sewing/Quilt Expo in Schaumburg on April 2....

I am hoping to meet up with some of my fellow "boarders!"

Please let me know if you have a moment to meet up!!

Wish I still lived in the Chicago area. I went to that show several years ago and it was fabulous. I spent the day and could have stayed another day or two. Some of the quilts were so unbelievable. It both inspired me and made me want to go home and smash my machine knowing I could live to be one hundred and never accomplish what some of those quilters were able to do with fabric and thread. Enjoy. Take a camera and wear comfortable shoes . I am envious. Kashu

Are you thinking of the International Quilt Show? It really was fabulous having that show here. Still mourning that they moved it.
